Fulminant properties of high explosives equation of state studies. Quarterly report, April--June 1964
Installation of the new Altec-Lansing M-30 microphone system in the impact machine was completed during the quarter. Eighteen series of impact hammer tests were completed. Of these, eight were made with the new 2.5 kg hammer. Routine tests conducted with the 5 kg hammer included EL-511 {beta}, Tacot-T, TNT, PBX 9404, LX-04-1 and PBX 9010; tests made with the 2.5 kg hammer included PBX 9404, LX-04-1, PBX 9010 and PETN. Half-inch gap sensitivity testing continued with a group test on four RX-04-AB materials and four LX-04-1 materials. Differences in shock sensitivity due to particle size and recrystallization were observed. Equation of State work during the fourth quarter consisted of three cylinder shots of LX-04-1, two small spherical shots (mockup of the large sphere shot) fired as technique checks, and a full scale sphere shot.
